Treadmills are one of the most popular exercise pieces within the home. They are so easy to use and versatile, from motorised, to manual, to the joy of a treadmill mat. And there are hundreds to choose from. They can be used for mild fitness/walking sessions or for marathon training.If you don’t have much space in your home, many treadmills fold up for easy storage, or you could turn your garage or shed into a personal fitness space.
Many people choose to lose weight, we are all guilty of that over indulgence throughout the year. Lots of people take up running or jogging or even power walking to lose those excess pounds. People who buy treadmills feel they manage their weight and set their own limits of exercise through using a treadmill. Research suggests that running is considered to be one of the most effective weight management strategies to beat that battle of the bulge. Here is a quick look at some of the many benefits of keeping a treadmill under foot.
BENEFITS OF TREADMILLS
- Most treadmills are versatile and user friendly, with simple instructions and easily controlled levels.
- A treadmill is an easy way to start a new fitness programme in the comfort of your own home. Start with a leisurely walk and build up your stamina as you wish.
- More expensive models have better cushioned running beds and super smooth motors. An improved cushioned running deck will absorb the impact to your joints more effectively. Smoother motors give a more comfortable and quiet workout – so if you suffer from any injuries you can take it one step at a time.
- Most treadmills have an adjustable incline level, which is motorised on more expensive models. The steeper the incline, the greater is the resistance so greater effort is required.
- Preset programmes can assist your personal workout routine. Programming options run from basic cardio and fat burning to workouts which can simulate outside terrain.
- Heart rate tracking allows you to monitor your effort level and train more safely, monitoring your exercise as you go.
- The big advantage of motorise treadmills is that you can measure your speed, time, distance, calories burnt and energy used, while measuring your progress as you go. Popular brands are Reebok, Proform and Horizon, but there are many more to choose from.
Treadmills are the perfect equipment to customise your exercise to your own personal fitness regime, but please take heed of the safety instructions and seek the appropriate medical advice before using a treadmill if you have any health conditions. Happy treading!
